There was no time to re-centre
the ball before the final whistle biew. Extra time was played and the Recreio secured the lend in the frat ten minutes, and held out to the end. Even so, the Police actually placed the ball in the net before the close, but the goal had to be disallowed for a very silly and unnecessary foul on Xavier before the bill had been centred.
Unfortunate Injury.
It
The game, full of exciting Incidents, was robustly contested throughout, and it was marred by Lan unfortunate injury to Wynne, the Police and Interport right back, who was carried off with a badly injured leg as the result of a bad foul by Gosano. would be going much too far to suggest that Gosano 'deliberate ly fouled Wynne, but there can be little doubt that he jumped at him in the excitement of the moment. It 129 feared that Wynne had broken his leg just above the ankle. He was taken away immediately for a medical examination, the result of which is not yet forthcoming..
Nice Combination.
The Recreio were rather lucky to win. In the first half there was not a great deal in it terrl-- torially. The Recreio exhibited far superior combination, and moved down the field repeatedly as the result of some judicious passes from the half-backs, and from Gosano, who maile full use of his wingers.
The right wing was particular. ly dangerous and some twenty minutes from the start, Ward open- ed the scoring with a beautiful CTORS drive which completely deceived Clark.
The Police responded spankly, trut while their raids were dangerous, the lack of cohesion frequently presented Xavier und Silva-Netto with comfortable clearances.
Pollee Score Twice.
In the second half, the Police had the greater share of the play. Both wingers were active, and the inside men were dangerous. Both Howarth and McGreavy were pushing the ball down the middle to Fraser, and the centre-forward was prevented from bursting through frequently only by the brilliance of Xavier.
Eventually, their efforts were rewarded. Beltre punched out a centre off MeGreavy's head, but Pile put the ball back again with a nicely-judged lob and this time, McGrenvy deflected the ball through.

Exciting exchanges in the struggle for the winning goal ensued, and in the last minute, the Police scored again. It was rather lucky goal, a short paes from Fraser striking McGreavy and thereby shooting fortuitously to Howarth, who made no mis take,
